I guess pointing direction is a matter of taste; I would say that the
left-pointing versions are the ones which are easily accessed, with option-;
(for proper subset) and option-space (for any subset).

Anyway, the character you want is given by the two-key combination option-n,
shift-a (for proper subset) or option-n, shift-o (for any subset).  Nothing
like a little symmetry.

I found this information using a neat little DA called KeyFinder.  It gives you
the complete character set of any font, and if you click on a particular
character, it gives you the keyboard equivalent (if you then release the mouse,
it will insert the character into your document if you ran KeyFinder with the
option key down).
